PaleoPutz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Very cool.. The top specimen is a nice mature male with great preservation. The bottom may be as well, but I can't tell on my iPad. Most of the better specimens I have seen are mature males. Which really isn't all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoPutz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Just thought I would add that the second appears to be a mature male as well. Now that I got a better look the chelicerae seem to have awesome preservation too. Gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
